SEIKO PRESAGE SSK049J1 COCKTAIL TIME GMT MEN WATCH

Seiko Presage SSK049J1 — Cocktail Time GMT Automatic

The Seiko Presage SSK049J1 brings a second time zone to the Cocktail Time bar. Inside is Seiko's Calibre 4R34, an automatic movement with manual winding and a 24-hour hand for dual-time display, holding a power reserve of approximately 41 hours. The 40.5mm stainless steel case sits 12.8mm tall and 47.5mm lug-to-lug, topped with box-shaped Hardlex crystal that curves over the dial the way a coupe glass curves over its stem — a signature of the Cocktail Time series. A cow leather strap on quick-release spring bars finishes the look, with a see-through caseback to watch the movement work.

Key Features

• Calibre 4R34 automatic GMT — a self-winding movement with manual winding and stop-second function, plus a 24-hour hand that tracks a second time zone at a glance; home time while you travel, or a colleague's city while you work.
• Cocktail Time dial craft — the series is defined by dials finished to catch and pour light like a mixed drink under bar lighting, paired here with the dressed-up proportions of a 40.5mm case.
• Box-shaped Hardlex crystal — the raised, vintage-style crystal adds depth to the dial and a distinctive profile on the wrist.
• Approx. 41-hour power reserve — set it down on Friday evening and it's still running Sunday morning.
• Quick-release leather strap — the 20mm cow leather strap swaps in seconds without tools, and the three-fold clasp releases at a push of a button.
• See-through caseback — the exhibition back puts the automatic movement on display, secured with a screw caseback and 5 bar water resistance for everyday confidence.

Why You'll Love It

Most GMT watches dress like tool watches. The SSK049J1 dresses for the evening — a dual-time complication wrapped in the Cocktail Time's signature glassware elegance. It suits the man who crosses time zones in a blazer rather than a flight jacket, and at 40.5mm with a slim leather strap, it slides under a cuff as easily as it reads across a dinner table.

The Seiko Story

Seiko was founded in 1881 by Kintaro Hattori in Tokyo, and in 1969 released the Astron, the world's first quartz wristwatch. The Presage collection carries Seiko's mechanical watchmaking forward, and the Cocktail Time series within it has become one of Seiko's most recognisable expressions of Japanese craft — dials inspired by the artistry of the cocktail bar, built on movements made entirely in-house.
